A Cafecito Story: El Cuento del Cafecito by Julia Alvarez

3.0

Charming, yet incisive in its attention to the degradation of the coffee trade, US farmstead, and small town living. Implications are deeply rooted in this otherwise feel-good story of a man who travels to the DR to discover a new purpose in life--and love. I would have liked this a lot more had it not been for the neat little bow tied on the end of the story (personal preference).
